Hedgeweek has announced the winners of the Hedgeweek US Digital Assets Awards 2023, which recognise excellence among fund managers and service providers in the digital assets space.
Voting for the awards, which were presented today (2 March) at an exclusive ceremony and networking event at Convene, on Park Avenue in New York, was conducted via an online poll of the entire Hedgeweek userbase, where participants were asked to make their choice among the shortlisted firms in each category.
The manager categories cover crypto and other digital asset strategies, while the service provider categories span all the key and evolving areas of service provision in the digital asset space.
Pre-selection data for the hedge fund manager awards categories was based on annualised returns for the 12 months from November 2021 through October 2022.
For the service provider categories, the nominated firms were based on a widespread survey of more than 100 fund managers and other key industry participants.
